Research Ethics Week 2025 EDUC Research

Published on October 9, 2025 Updated on October 9, 2025

Paris Nanterre University, in collaboration with its partners in the EDUC alliance, is launching the first edition of the Research Ethics Week, with the collaboration of the Research Ethics Committee (CER), the UPN Research Department (DRED), the UPN Scientific Integrity Officer (RIS), PUDN - MSH Mondes, and in conjunction with the UPN doctoral college.



Research Ethics Week 2025 - EDUC Research


The aim of this event is to offer researchers from the alliance an opportunity to explore together the contexts and modalities through which ethics underpins and improves research, through two days of meetings and scientific exchanges. 

The event will take place in a hybrid format on the Nanterre campus in the Weber building on December 8 and 9, 2025.

 

Main themes


The two days will be organized primarily, but not exclusively, around a few main themes with interdisciplinary overlaps, such as:

- Freedom of consent: the freedom of participants to participate in and withdraw from research at any time without consequences (no researcher/participant dependency relationship, participation in research brings no benefits other than those related to the research itself, etc.) and full knowledge of these rights, for example for students participating in their teachers' research;

- conflicts of interest: multiple sources of income, scientific bias, relationships of dependency, researchers wearing two hats

- data protection: the collection and archiving of research data in accordance with European data protection regulations (GDPR)
